New York's historic hotels: Everything old is new again | boston.com

New York's East Side is a story of wealth, glamour and greed. It's home to some of the most iconic buildings in the city, as well as some of the most famous landmarks in the nation. Through the years, the East Side has seen its share of deceit and descent, but through its tumultuous past it has remained one of the most coveted addresses in the world. The hotels that line the East Side of Manhattan have interesting tales to tell, among them the Carlyle Hotel, The Pierre and the Renaissance New York Hotel 57 -- three hotels with three very different stories to tell of affluence, affiliation and aspiration.
